Akamai Technologies: Removing the Complexities of Technology

Vast quantities of video are poised to move on-line, which creates the need for a delivery platform that can provide enormous scale at low cost and high quality. On-line transactions are rapidly moving to mobile devices, creating challenges with performance and capacity. Cyber attacks are dramatically increasing in size and sophistication, creating the need for a new generation of security solutions with vast scale and ever-improving defensive capabilities. Enterprise applications are moving to the cloud, which means that enterprise IT managers need to buy optimization and offload solutions in the form of services that work in the public Internet and hybrid cloud.

As the 'hyperconnected' world rapidly evolves, Akamai is focused on helping businesses overcome the many complexities of having a robust, scalable, secure, and high-performing Web presence.

Since Akamai's founding, it has been at the vanguard of the Internet revolution. From day one, Akamai has worked hard to gain an understanding of how its customers want to use the Internet to make their businesses more agile, customer-centric and profitable. Akamai learned early on that enterprises conducting transactions on-line need those transactions to be fast. And today, user expectations have increased to the point where transactions need to be nearly instantaneous.

Last year, Akamai released its next generation acceleration solutions, Aqua Ion and Terra Alta. These solutions provide even greater acceleration than their predecessors and are specially designed to speed up dynamic applications in the most challenging network and mobile environments.
